Spontaneous joy in this time of pandemic



Calgary, Alberta

Louisa Adria, Foothills Mennonite Church’s congregational support worker, and Ruth Bergen Braun, communications coordinator of Mennonite Church Alberta, sparked joy when they spontaneously decided to do a photo shoot on Feb. 26, next to a brightly painted shipping container near downtown Calgary.

Inspired by a random bunch of balloons left in the back of Adria’s father’s limousine, Bergen Braun took photos while Adria proved that spontaneous joy is possible during COVID-19.
